LONDON, March 2S.-It is reported
that the Dauntless lost her bOwsprit on
the 18th inst. when only three days
out from New York.
Noon-The Dauntless passed Holy
head at IL a. m. She is all right. Mr..

back to America.
QUEENSTOWN. March 2S. - The
Dauntless passed HOlyhead, off Kins-
dale, at 3:15 O'Clock this afternoon.
The wind was blowing from the North
west and was light. 1t will probably
take her two hours to reach the finish
ing line at Rochespoint. The tug Fly
ing Irishman has left Queenstown with
press correspondents to meet the Daunt-
less. The officers of the CorOnet and
other yachtSmen are greatly pleased
with the result of the race and say it
has served to show the admirable quail
tiles in both yachts. Officers and
friends of both yachts will be enter
tanned by members of the Royal Cork
Yacht Club.
RoCHE's POINT, 1870 p. m.-The
Dauntless is now in sight five miles to
the southwest, coming along under a
full spread of canvas before light
southwest wind. A number of steam
yachts and craft of all descriptions
await her here.
QUEENSTOWN, March 28-The Daunt-
less crossed the finishing at 6:45 O'Clock.
Her actual time on the passage was 1e
days hour, 43 minutes and Is seconds
| She has been lowed into the harbor and
is now safe at anchor. All on board the
Dauntless are well, and the yacht is in
as good shape as when she left Owl's

weather as the Coronet. \ comparison
of the logs of the two racers indicate
that they followed about the same
course. Mr.. Caldwell Colt, owner O

poles. When last seen from the decl
of the Coronet on the evening of tn
start, the Dauntless was steering
south southeast, but during the nigh
her course was changed to nOrtheas
by east. On March 16 she ran into
heavy cross sea, with strong south
: east gale. Oil was used with good 81
feet to break the waves and the zach
